I imagined John Blanke having a strong sense of determination, perhaps quite fearless. As well as being skilled, he must have been charismatic, too – somebody who put people at ease. He was probably fluent in at least two European languages, but I wonder if he gave much thought to, or had ever even seen his African ancestral homeland?
